Startup Coaching

 I coach founders to realize their impossible dreams using self-understanding as their compass.

Impossible dreams transform the parameters of what we think is possible. They challenge the status quo.

There is no script for bringing them about.

Until you write it.

I bring the anthropology of work, design thinking, and needs-awareness to help you actualize your most ambitious vision for your mission-driven startup.

My coaching program will guide you to:

  1. Build an inner compass to align yourself with your vision, purpose, and values, so you can lead from a power that comes from congruence with yourself.

  2. Develop a values-based framework to build a team and source key stakeholders, including co-founders, advisors, and investors who align with your vision.

  3. Deepen your self-awareness by understanding your needs as the source of all your actions and communication, and bring this awareness to navigate the challenges of growing your company.

  4. Acquire foundational communication and conflict resolution skills so you can build and maintain a strong co-founder relationship grounded in collaboration.

  5. Communicate your needs and boundaries with stakeholders courageously and empathetically across power differentials.

  6. Harness the power of difficult conversations that are judgement free and grounded in realness and empathy.

  7. Navigate the risks and uncertainty of building a startup through concrete actions that lead to possibilities you cannot yet envision. 

  8. Overcome burnout by streamlining your workflow using an awareness of your needs, capacities and limits in rapidly changing circumstances.

  9. Align the scale of your daily actions with the scale of your ambitions.

  10. Rescript old patterns of behavior that get in your way, so you can have a clear runway to create what you want. 

  11. Transform obstacles and limitations into means by which you can unleash your creativity by understanding the right problems to solve for and designing emergent solutions.

Program Structure

The coaching program is a container within which transformation takes place. At the heart of the container is the coaching relationship. Through the relationship we build, I facilitate your access to your own inner knowing of your needs and capacities and I support you in freeing yourself from patterns, beliefs, and responses to challenges that hold you back from actualizing your vision. At the beginning of our work, we will co-create a roadmap that charts the direction you want to take. We will also assess what has been blocking you so far.

I coach for transformation. I find that there are three key ingredients that make this transformation possible: consistency, time, and support when obstacles arise. Therefore, my coaching is long-term and change unfolds month by month as we build together. To ensure consistency, I have designed the program to have a cadence of regularly scheduled sessions. When obstacles arise, the support calls between sessions can be used to troubleshoot.

Scheduling 

The heart of our work will take place during the sessions, which are held over the phone. At the end of each session, we will schedule the next one. You can book your support call as needed. If you need to reschedule any sessions, I ask for 24-hours notice via text. Same day cancellations will be considered a missed session. 

Payments

Once you choose the installment plan that works for you and sign up, payments will be automatically deducted monthly from the credit card. I do not provide refunds. In the event of extenuating circumstances, if you need to pause coaching, the payment cycle will continue for the time you signed up and you can use the sessions for up to two months after your plan ends. If you cancel the program, the cancellation fee is one month’s billing cycle. The sessions for this billing cycle will be available for you for up to two months.
